MK7R Exhaust Valve Controller – VW MK7/MK7.5 Golf R 2.0L EXVALVE by ASR

Unleash True Sound Control for Your Golf R

Although the VW MK7 and MK7.5 Golf R deliver exceptional performance, their factory exhaust systems restrict driver control over the valves. Because of preset ECU logic, you’re often forced into using quiet or inconsistent sound levels. Thankfully, the MK7R Exhaust Valve Controller by EXVALVE (ASR) gives you full command — allowing you to override factory programming and take charge of your exhaust sound.

Whether you’re aiming for stealth or seeking a throaty, aggressive tone, this controller makes switching modes as easy as pressing a button.

Designed for VW Golf R MK7 / MK7.5 (2.0L EA888 Gen 3)

This controller is tailor-made for the 2014–2019 VW Golf R platform. It connects directly to your factory exhaust valve motors using OEM-style harnesses, avoiding the need for coding or wire cutting.

Fitment Includes:

• VW Golf R MK7 (2014–2017)

• VW Golf R MK7.5 (2018–2019)

• 2.0L EA888 Gen 3 engines

• Stock or aftermarket exhausts with active valves (e.g., Milltek, Remus)

Because it integrates cleanly with your OEM valve system, installation is seamless and 100% reversible.

Switch Between Modes Instantly – On Your Terms

EXVALVE gives you three distinct valve modes, accessible via the included remote control:

• Open Mode: Valves remain fully open, delivering max sound at all RPMs

• Close Mode: Valves stay shut for reduced noise during startups or daily use

• Auto Mode: Returns valve control to the factory ECU (for normal operation)

Therefore, whether you’re heading to work, meeting friends at a car event, or tearing down your favorite backroad, you can tailor your exhaust tone in seconds.

Plug-and-Play Installation with No Coding Required

Unlike other systems that require complicated coding or ECU flashes, EXVALVE by ASR is truly plug-and-play. With factory-grade connectors and secure mounting options, you can install it at home with minimal tools.

Installation Process:

1. Safely lift the rear of the vehicle

2. Locate the factory valve harness on the muffler

3. Unplug the OEM connector and insert the EXVALVE adapter inline

4. Mount the control box using zip ties or double-sided tape

5. Test operation using the remote fob

Because the system uses original valve signals, no errors, CELs, or warning lights appear on your dashboard.

Discreet Remote Operation – Works Inside or Outside the Vehicle

The system includes a sleek, pre-programmed remote fob that operates the valve modes. Since it uses RF (radio frequency), it works even when you’re outside the vehicle — perfect for warm starts or remote show-off sessions.

The remote features three simple buttons (Open, Close, Auto), and feedback is immediate. Whether mounted on your keychain or hidden in the glovebox, it gives you the power to control your tone wherever you go.

Safe and Smart – Built to OEM Standards

Because the controller simulates factory logic and resistance, it ensures zero impact on ECU diagnostics, OBD2 functions, or dealer scan tools. Additionally, the EXVALVE module uses weatherproof enclosures and high-temp wiring, making it perfect for both daily and high-performance use.

Benefits Include:

• No check engine lights (CELs)

• Retains all ECU driving modes (Comfort, Race, Sport)

• Safe for lease returns or dealership visits

• Fully reversible in 10 minutes or less

As a result, you can enjoy your MK7R the way it was meant to sound — with confidence.

Works with Stock and Aftermarket Exhausts

Because it was designed with flexibility in mind, this controller is fully compatible with stock exhausts and most aftermarket valved systems, including:

• Milltek Valved Cat-Back for MK7R

• Remus Sport Exhaust for Golf R

• Akrapovič Slip-On System for Golf R

So whether you’re looking to unlock your OEM valves or gain control over a performance system, EXVALVE provides a perfect solution.
